Emptyclaws Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Recently ive been told that i should buy an amd radeon r7 250 2gb graphics card for my desktop which really needs a graphics card. Would this gpu cause any problems in my system, and could my system handle it? Specs are: Windows 8.1 64 bitAMD A8-5500Integrated radeon 7560 hd8gb ram300w power supplyThe only thing im really worried about is the power supply. Could my power supply handle running the radeon r7 250 2gb ddr3 without giving trouble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanlosh Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 No sorry you will need at least a 400w PSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enkephalin07 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I've got an AMD/ATI rig right now, I'm not very happy with the performance. The problem with AMD is a recurring lack of industry support for hardware features that look revolutionary and awesome on paper, but becomes deprecated by more powerful CPU's by the time they are adopted. Look at the history of 3dNow for an example. Nvidia used to have this problem, but now they're dominating the market to the point that they can push their hardware through software developers who will deliver on their promises. I like AMD, but it seems like I'm yet again paying too much to be a first adopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
